Patterns of Staining of HSP70, Glutamine Synthetase and Glypican3 in HCC.

Antibody Pattern of staining Interpretation (positive/negative)
Glutamine synthetase (GS) Diffuse strong cytoplasmic positivity unrelated to vascular structures/septae Positive (19/35)
Patchy strong positivity along the septae Negative (11/35)
HSP70 Diffuse strong cytoplasmic with nuclear positivity Positive (17/35)
Isolated cytoplasmic positivity Negative (4/35)
Glypican3 (GPC3) Cytoplasmic positivity/strong membranous positivity in >10% of cells Positive (10/35)
Occasional cells positive/weak cytoplasmic staining Negative (8/35)
